The Dhamaka Team Will Open Three More Places
In 2018, Chintan Pandya and Roni Mazumdar broke out with Adda, their standout Indian canteen in Long Island City. Since then, their collection of restaurants has grown to include the impossibleto-get-into Dhamaka and the fried-chicken counter Rowdy Rooster. Next on their agenda is reviving Mazumdar’s original restaurant, Masalawala, and moving it to Park Slope (365 Fifth Ave., nr. 5th St.), adding some new dishes from Pandya as well as a grocery component. They’ll also unveil
Kebabwala in the East Village (82 Second Ave., nr. E. 5th St.), offering their take on India’s street grills. And finally, at the end of the year, they’ll uproot Adda and move it to the East Village (201 First Ave., nr. E. 12th St.), where it can coexist comfortably among all their other businesses in the area.
